    Early the next morning, the Japanese 26th Brigade in Mangshan started taking action again, heading towards Quanjiao County.

    However, just like yesterday, as soon as they walked out of Mangshan, they were attacked by the special operations brigade of the Seventh Division, still with sniper rifles and landmines.

    Although it is daytime and the line of sight is good, because the range of a sniper rifle is several times that of an ordinary 38-meter rifle, snipers usually shoot from five to six hundred meters away.

    In addition, the southern Anhui area is mountainous and lush, with natural bunkers everywhere, and the soldiers of the special operations brigade are still wearing forest camouflage, so it is very difficult for the little devil to find the hiding place of the sniper.

    Numata Shigetori was completely confused. This was completely different from what he expected. On the contrary, it was more conducive for the opponent to choose targets in broad daylight.

    However, while Numata Shigetori's troops were fighting with the special forces on the Mangshan front line, another Japanese army set off from Nanqiao and went straight to Quanjiao via Jieshou, Duanzhuang, Xudian and other places.  Come from the county seat.

    Since Li Guoyao and others did not expect that the Japs would send troops from Nanqiao, they did not station troops on this road. Therefore, the Japanese army Xingjun went very smoothly and arrived near Chengou at around 11 o'clock in the morning.  It is less than five kilometers away from the county seat.

    In view of this, Li Guoyao immediately ordered the special operations brigade outside the city to stop harassing the Japanese 26th Brigade and let them over.

    At 12 o'clock at noon, the main force of the Japanese 104th Brigade arrived outside Quanjiao City first and set up a battle formation, preparing to attack Quanjiao's outer positions.

    However, the 7th Division built a large number of city defenses outside the city. The Japanese army was repelled two consecutive attacks. Not only did they suffer heavy losses, they were also discouraged. Therefore, Major General Yamaguchi Okiji, commander of the 104th Brigade of the Japanese Army, decided to wait.  Numata brigade, wait until the two groups reunite before making plans.

    At around three o¡¯clock in the afternoon, after more than 7 hours of arduous march, Major General Shigetori Numata, commander of the 26th Brigade, personally led the main force of the brigade to finally arrive outside Quanjiao County and join forces with the 104th Brigade.

    This journey was simply a nightmare for Numata Shigetori and the entire 26th Brigade. The journey from Chuxian County to Quanjiao was just over 60 kilometers. Normally it would take up to ten hours to arrive, but starting last night  Until now, they had been walking for almost twenty hours. Although they rested for a few hours during this period, the time spent had far exceeded expectations.

    More importantly, there must be ambushes in the mountains along the way, and there must be mines in the woods. From time to time, a few mortar shells will fall from the sky, or they will be violently beaten by machine gun positions set up on the highlands, causing extremely heavy losses to the troops.  The bitterness of this journey is really not enough to be explained to outsiders.

    When we arrived outside Quanjiao City, we found out that since last night, the entire 26th Brigade had lost more than 900 people. Among these more than 900 people, only a few dozen were wounded, and the rest were all killed with one shot.

    Before the war even started, an infantry brigade was defeated by the other side. In addition to the vanguard troops that were wiped out last night, a full two thousand people were just finished. This cast a shadow over the hearts of all Japanese troops.

    Fortunately, they finally arrived at Quanjiao, and the abominable army was right in front of them. As long as they broke through the outer positions, they could occupy this place. This allowed Numata Shigetori, who had been frustrated for a day and night, to find a way to vent his frustration.

    After the troops arrived outside Quanjiao City, Shigetori Numata ignored Yamaguchi Ouji's dissuasion and immediately ordered the troops to go into battle.

    In order to eliminate the defenders in the city as soon as possible, Numata Shigetoku launched a fierce attack with the main force. A regiment of infantry and a large number of technical arms participated in the battle. The powerful firepower was directly aimed at the east and south gates of Quanjiao.

    However, what Shigenori Numata did not expect was that the defensive position of the Z/N was very strong. Not only were the trenches perfectly built, but the firepower configuration was also very good. In addition, there were many semi-bunker-style permanent firepower points. They  Attacks are often repulsed before they even get close to the opponent's position.

    The battle lasted from four o'clock in the afternoon to about seven o'clock in the evening, and ended when the sun went down and nothing could be seen.

    After three hours of attack, the Japanese army achieved almost nothing except destroying some positions of the Chinese defenders. However, they suffered six to seven hundred casualties. As a last resort, Numata Shigetori had to order the troops to stop the attack.

    In the temporary command tent, Numata Shigetori was drinking while discussing strategies with Yamaguchi Ouji.

    After taking a few sips of Japan's special sake, Numata Shigetori said in a deep voice: "Baga, you are so cunning. This army actually hides in the dark like woodchucks and shoots black guns. It's so abominable. It's not a bit of bushido.  No energy at all!¡±

    Major General Yamaguchi immediately comforted him: "Numata-kun, isn't that the army that has always been like this? If they have the spirit of Bushido?Why was it invaded by the empire?  "

    Numata Shigetori immediately nodded and said: "Hey, Yamaguchi-kun is right. It's because that person was too cowardly, so he was pushed further and further away from the empire. It's a pity that such a large land area is lost.  If this place is turned into the territory of the empire, the British Empire and the Red Soviet Union will be nothing but country chickens and dogs!"

    "Numata-kun, listening to what you just said, this tactic does not seem to be the style of the government army, but it is a bit like the Tubal Road!" Yamaguchi Chuji said in a deep voice.

    "Tubachi Road? Impossible, how could there be a Tubal Road in this place?" Numata Shigenori said with disbelief.

    "No, Numata-kun, you don't pay much attention to the battle reports in this area. One of my nephews works in the Special High-Tech Department. He came to Nanjing to see me a few days ago and told me a piece of news!"

    "what news?"

    "Not long ago, with the approval of the Z/N government, the Red Army guerrillas in the southern provinces were reorganized into the "New Fourth Army of the Army." This New Fourth Army is the Tubal Road in Jiangnan. Perhaps it is this army that is at war with us."  Uncertain!" Major General Yamaguchi said.

    Major General Numata thought for a while and said: "It doesn't seem like it. First of all, the enemy who attacked us is very professional. At first glance, he is a truly trained sniper. Not only is his marksmanship accurate, but he also seems to have a professional sniper rifle. This alone is not  Ordinary Tuba Road may be comparable to the guerrillas."

    "Secondly, the opponent's combat literacy is very high. Basically, they only fire once and immediately move their position. They are very ruthless and shoot specifically at officers and technical units. This is definitely a very professional force."

    Major General Yamaguchi Oki nodded, agreeing with Numata Shigetori's words.  But the matter has come to this, no matter how much you say, it is of no use. The top priority is still how to destroy the army on the opposite side.

    In view of this, Major General Yamaguchi immediately asked: "Numata-kun, what are your thoughts on the next war?"

    "Yamaguchi-kun, how many combat-ready troops do you have now?" Major General Numata did not answer the question, but asked instead.

    "To be honest, there are not many, only more than 3,600 people!"

    "I still have more than 8,800 people under my command, which adds up to more than 14,000 combatable soldiers! According to the investigation of the intelligence department, Li Guoyao's seventh division has less than 10,000 people, or even less. With our strength  It¡¯s not a big problem to completely annihilate them with strength. The top priority now is to break through these peripheral positions outside Quanjiao City. Once we enter the city, it will be easy!¡±

    "Youxi, but you have also seen the positions outside the city. With trenches and fixed firepower points, plus a large number of elite troops, a strong attack will inevitably cause heavy casualties!" said Major General Yamaguchi.

    "So what, this time the base camp and the front army have made up their minds to deal with Li Guoyao's troops, so no matter how heavy the price is, we must conquer this small county town. At worst, our 26th Brigade will be the main attack!"

    "Numata-kun, this is not a question of who will be the main attacker. I am just worried that the casualties of the troops will be too great to explain to the division commander!"

    "Yamaguchi-kun, do you think we have a greater chance of being punished if we lose the battle, or do you think the casualties caused by annihilating Li Guoyao's troops are too great and have a greater chance of being punished? Besides, we are also likely to be punished, so why don't we give it a try, not to mention that we  Nearly 3,000 people have been lost now, what do you think?" Numata Shigenori said solemnly.

    "Hey, Numata-kun, what you said makes sense, then let's attack according to your plan tomorrow!"

    "Thank you Yamaguchi-kun for your support!"

    "You're welcome, Numata-kun! It's all for the empire. Long live the empire, and long live the Emperor!"

    "Long live the Empire, long live His Majesty the Emperor!"
